Stereotypes

The following is a classic example of a stereotype, even though it is out of good humour the text is a stereotypical view of the PARSI community:

After the British colonies, it is the Parsi colonies that are left behind, on which the sun never sets!
Because at 2 am old ladies are chasing stray dogs with sticks,
at 3 am somebody's TV is loud enough to keep the watchmen awake,
at 4 am the granny has woken up to pee, and flushes loud enough for all neighbourhood to announce where she was,
at 5 am the doodhwala comes from 'parsi dairy farm',
at 6 am somebody takes 46 kicks to start his 'vahloon' scooter,
at 7 am the 3rd floor neighbour goes “piche ka side ko barabar se dhona, mein roj dekhta hu, tum aisa hi dutty dutty kapda mar ke nikal jata hai” ....to the ‘gari dhowa-walo’,
at 8 am you hear a frantic mother shouting "mehernosh tu bhona no dabbo bhuligayo" running in a nighty, down the ‘main street’ of the “bagh”,
at 9 am someone starts playing 'chhaiye ahme zartosti' at the top volume,
at 10 am the ladies are clapping from balconies to call the ‘taja paplet kolmi walo’,
at 11 am the jobless, wifeless, TVless and hopeless 'hadas' of the colony come down with a war cry of mcbc gaars, to play cricket or volleyball,
at 12 noon they break a glass,
at 1 pm the fight is still on,
at 2 pm the fight ends when the aromas from other people's kitchens reminds them that stomach is mightier than the sword,
at 3 pm the school kids are returning in a shrill argument over what happened in class,
at 4 pm the old man’s club comes down for a walk and asks the silly obvious questions like 'bajar laine aavi?' 'office thi aavi?', 'college thi aavi?' to all the women of the colony returning from anywhere,
at 5 pm the old woman’s parade starts, where the aunties want to walk, but the gangubais escorting them want to sit,
at 6 pm after finishing their homework, the ‘chillar’ comes down to play (that’s what they used to call people below 12 when we used to go down, I believe now it is kidos),
at 7 pm the hero of the parsi colony 'the pavwala' arrives with ‘karak and naram’ options for all the ladies,
at 8 pm some aspiring young stuntbawa is practicing stunts with his bike and melodramatic teenage girls squealing 'oohs' and 'aahs' louder than required,
at 9 pm you can hear people of all age groups saying 'bye' to each other for an entire hour,
at 10 pm someone gets enough bones only for 1 stray dog, so the other dogs create a havoc,
at 11 pm someone’s grandfather clock gongs out loud eleven times and by the time it stops you have missed hearing the last part of your favourite TV serial,
at 12 midnight the watchman has to show he is working, and so goes banging the stick to wake you up from your deep slumber,
at 1 am some guys play loud music in a car, but this time the guy on the 2nd floor wakes up, fights with the youngsters and threatens to call the police, and you end up peeping from the window to see the commotion, when finally the commotion ends, the old lady who is hard of hearing thinks it is the stray dogs barking again
and at 2 am comes out with a stick to chase them…
see the sun never sets on the parsi empire.
